Gemma Barrett - Illustrator and Designer

Gemma Barret, based in Southampton, graduated with a BA Hons in Illustration from Southampton Solent University in 2007. Since then Gemma has been working to build her portfolio as a freelance illustrator.

Although digital seems to be the chosen tool for many artists at the moment - Gemma still favors the lure of a good old fashioned pencil and paper set up. Unless called for, Gemma's work isn’t about being edgy or subversive rather, Gemma hopes to evoke a bit of nostalgia or to capture an element of fun in my imagery, she's try to combine originally observed forms and settings with a more fluid line and imaginative approach.

Gemma has started producing and selling activities books that will be available for sale at 'Art House Craft & Zine Fayre' on Sunday 22nd November 2009.
